Compared to last year we are up 200 points:SEASON TICKETS: ALMOST 32,000
7/10/2007
MILAN - The official data of purchased tickets by the Rossoneri fans for the San Siro league matches of next season is the following: 31,821 (Monday they were 31,331), for a total of 9,807,250.00 Euros. A year ago that figure stood at 10,420 (for a total of 4,472,183.00 Euros).

There is no correlation between Milan's success and Bruges ticket sales. There is a correlation between Milan's ticket sales and average Serie A attendance as Milan has plays in Serie A and is affected by other teams and overall audiences. And we're topping it 5 consecutive years.

Liverpool isn't even a close to argument as they're Anfield's capacity is thousands away from our average attendance.

Fact is our attendance is best in their league and in TOP 10 from all around Europe therefore it's not a problem.

It's a question beyond imagination and focusing on only one fact which doesn't make the picture. But if...entire Italy has 5.000 visitors; Bruges had 5000; Milan would top the league with 15 000(to get the equivalents close) average attendance at a 19 000 capacity stadium and be in Europe's top 10 with that; top last year's sales with 200 points - then YES it means it's good.

Let's try to take the steam off.

I guarantee we will hit the 40k mark before the season starts. Last year it was about 37K if I recall it correctly so let's just wait and see. My prediction is around 47K

Okay, you can be right.
But still average of 50.000 is to low for a club like Milan.

If we can top to 45.000 ( or 47) like you say, then you can close this thread because then it is fine.

Found some info about the sales back in 2005 as well as a little bit of update here:

We sold out 30.000 season tickets, which I thought was very good but then I saw that here in Belgium, Bruges has 20.000 season tickets.

Now if we compare Milan to Bruges ,then we must see that Milan is alot greater so how come we 'only got 30.000'.

I thought we were doing well, 30.000 isn't nothing but when I saw this I thought, wtf how come Milan doesn't has more.

Possible reasons.

Inter Milan ( not that they have so much fans), but people in Milan who love football are for Inter or for Milan so that takes a part of the town away.
If you only would have one team in a town everbody would love them and you would have more supporters.
Stadion
I never been in San Siro, but stadiums in Italy kinda suck, at least from what I hear.

So the question about all this (maybe to for u useless thread , but I find it important)

How come Milan don't have more people who watch at the stadium ?
What can we do about it ?

lol, there's 8 or so teams from london in the premiership alone. doesn't that kinda take away like 7/8 of the city for a chelsea fan, or a arsenal fan, or for a tottenham fan..etc..

Not necessarily. We haven't faced any team of note to get fans excited. If we had friendlies vs Barcelona, or Real Madrid, or Chelsea or whatever, and we ended up beating them, then yes perhaps it might have sold 1 or 2 thousand tickets more.

We could face Madrid, and we faced PSV (not super big but not small either).
But I think if we win the TIM trofeo wwe can indeed get thousand or 2 thousand extra, at least if we win them with nice football and not with luck.

People are seeing that Milan will not bring in a big-boy like promised so it's over in my eyes.
I think the most of those buyers believed to see Ronaldinho in the Milan outfit, which was a good trick of Berlusconi and Galliani because they said one of the five but everyone was dreaming of Ronaldinho and not thinking about Pato.

The season ticket sales haven't made such a significant jump that a star player(promise) influence is notable. This raise is perfectly expected after Cl win.
